The data, originally published last year by researchers at the CDC, show that among Americans with BMIs below 25, women have an average body fat percentage of 34 percent and men have an average body fat percentage of 23 percent.
According to various sources, the minimum limit of body fat is around 2-5% for men2 and 10-13% for women.3 However, that is just the minimum amount. The average adult male body fat percentage should be between 18 and 25%. For women, their percentage of body fat in relation to age should be between 25 and 31%. The body fat chart also shows that the percentage of fat needed for the body to function properly increases with age. So, for example, 26% body fat is quite acceptable for a male over 55 years old. However, this would be classed as âover-fatâ or obese in someone in their late 20s.
